Interim President King summarized BSU funding allocations recently approved by the governor:

an increase in operation allocations: 2.2% for the first year and 1.7% the following year
He forecasted future events, such as the ground breaking for the health professions building, the arrival of President Mearns
on May 15th, and a fundraising initiative to develop a Robert J. Morris Distinguished Lecture series.
Interim President King also reflected on accomplishments that attest to the Senate’s key role on campus: the creation of the
College of Health, the realignment of programs in the College of Applied Sciences and Technology, and policy changes that
align pay increases with merit and that more clearly define satisfactory performance. He praised the work of BSU’s contract
faculty and voiced support for Contract Titles and Promotions, up for Senate review.

The chair reviewed the legislation. A motion was made and seconded (B.Frankel/K. Berryhill) to review an amendment
proposed by B. Frankel (Attachment #1) that would remove the time increments used to assess promotion in the current
proposal.

faculty in the current proposal
The degree of autonomy within academic units to propose promotion timelines and salary/merit standards for
contract faculty
The specific charge of the ad hoc committee that developed the legislation
Potentially removing the proposal’s strength by removing timeline guideposts
A motion was made and seconded to approve the amended legislation.

Clarification of the timeline for departments to write their policies for promotion
The possibility for ushering in new contract faculty into promotions based on excellence at previous institutions

STANDING RULES FOR CONDUCTING SENATE BUSINESS
1. A member of the faculty, professional personnel, or a student who is not a senator may initiate an agenda item by
having a senator sponsor that item or by presenting the item to the Agenda Committee. 2. Senators may submit new agenda items in writing to the Agenda Committee. 3. The Senate will be called to order on the hour with sessions limited to one hour and twenty minutes.
4. Roll will be taken by the members initialing a roster. 5. Senators will be seated in a designated section of the room. Special areas of the chamber will be reserved for the
seating of visitors. 6. The distribution of the minutes by mail will substitute for the reading of the minutes.
7. Announcements must be limited to Senate business and must be cleared through the Chair. 8. Scheduled meetings will include, following committee reports, a question-and-answer period not to exceed ten
minutes in length, during which senators may request information from other persons present on matters of concern to the University community as a whole. The Chair shall rule out of order questions that are personal, departmental, or collegiate in scope or that do not pertain to University affairs.
9. The first time they speak at a meeting, senators will stand and identify themselves when addressing the Chair or the
Senate. 10. Senators may, as a prerogative, address the Senate from the lectern. 11. Senate committees and councils must send minutes, reports, and recommendations to the Agenda Committee. 12.

Centennial Package
As we reach Ball State's 100th anniversary, we propose to work this year on a series of university policy changes/additions that would
help us meet the goals of our strategic plan, especially regarding becoming a model 21st century public research university. We plan
to raise this issue at this year’s first Faculty Council meeting on 9/7, and ask members to solicit ideas from their constituents. The
executive committee of the Council will, before the next meeting, decide on the most pressing matters to address in a way that would be: 1. manageable time wise, 2. help position Ball State better vis-a-vis comparable institutions in the Midwest and the country in
general that compete with us for the best faculty talent (hence we will look for areas in which Ball State lags considerably behind its
peers), and 3. most likely to succeed. We envision proposing changes to policies that have little to no effect on the university’s budget,
as well as some that might require funding or re-appropriation of funds.
After determining what issues to tackle, we will assign them to the appropriate committee (if under Faculty Council) or raise them in
the senate, which would then direct it to the relevant council (if the committee in question is not under Faculty Council). The
executive committee of the Faculty Council will oversee the process, including delegating the collection of data and its analysis and
discussion to committees, and/or discussions with administrators. Our oversight is necessary, given that we may be handling issues
that fall under the purview of more than one committee. Our goal is to have recommendations for all policy changes/additions
approved by committees in early spring so the councils and senate have a chance to debate and approve them this year.
The advantage of working on several issues at once is that we could potentially make the case that, while addressing one would bear a
cost, reforming another would save money. As a package, our goal is to propose changes to the university that would have the greatest
effect on our work as scholars and teachers (and thus help students too), but as little a financial impact as possible, or that require an
investment that would pay off within a few years.
Another advantage of this approach is its ability to demonstrate that the governance system can get things done, and within a reasonable time frame. At the moment, many faculty believe serving in the Senate/Faculty Council is a waste of time. Some
departments appoint delegates that have little interest in serving. By showing that our governance bodies can help move the university
forward in meaningful ways, we can potentially engage faculty who may have a keen interest in administration, thus strengthening

Enclosure #6
TO: SENATE AGENDA COMMITTEE FR: MARILYN BUCK, INTERIM PROVOST DATE: JUNE 23, 2017 RE: NEEDED CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION OF POLICIES FOR ANNUAL SALARY ADJUSTMENTS: FACULTY AND
PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL The current Faculty and Professional Personnel Handbook language regarding salary adjustments needs to be corrected to reflect that the policies also pertain to contract faculty. Currently, the handbook notes in 4.5
All subunits must, however, award no less than seventy percent (70%) of their total increment funds for meritorious service in accordance with the subunit criteria. These "merit" funds cannot be distributed on an "across the board" basis. Meritorious service must be determined annually.
The implication, and the intention, when the policy was passed was for this to apply to all full-time faculty (tenured, tenure-track, and contract). However, the definition included in the policy and which precedes the 70% instruction notes:
2.1 University salary administration guidelines for faculty and professional personnel apply to all continuing professional personnel employees and those currently tenured or on tenure track or continuing contract appointment classified as follows:
2.11. Faculty employed on academic or fiscal year contract; 2.12. Professional personnel employed on academic or fiscal year contract (including professional personnel holding rank in academic departments); 2.13. Faculty and professional personnel returning from approved leave of absence during present or next fiscal year.
Whereas the university has an (old) employment classification of continuing contract and whereas most contract faculty members are NOT classified as such, I recommend the following change to clarify the policy and make it clear that the 70% merit pertains to all full-time faculty members.
2.1 University salary administration guidelines for faculty and professional personnel apply to all continuing professional personnel employees and those faculty members who are currently tenured, on tenure track, or who are hired on a full-time contract basis. 2.11. Faculty employed on academic or fiscal year contract; 2.12. Professional personnel employed on academic or fiscal year contract (including professional personnel holding rank in academic departments); 2.13. Faculty and professional personnel returning from approved leave of absence during present or next fiscal year.
